We're bringing in vets that know what the league is like and they'll pick up on things quickly, like terminology and schemes. Everything begin online now is also helpful because I imagine that the players were sent the playbooks and blocking schemes through email and they've all been studying it and getting up-to-speed. They'll also know the tendencies of a lot of defenders and how the NFL is played, which is very beneficial.
You're right about sliding, but I don't think he'll need much of that because, if he has to scramble, you have to know that he and Chase would just go into backyard football mode and would make the connection before Burrow has to tuck it.
I realize that's not always the case because Burrow might have to run up the middle and protect the ball or run to the opposite side of Chase, so let's just hope that Burrow realizes that protecting his (and our) future is more important than a few extra yards.
After the beating he took last season, I have to think he'll want to play it safer this season lol.
Good point about being able to catch up faster with the technology now a days. My only real question was how fast the OL gels.
And yes, Burrow and Chase have that connection that not many have. The play can break down and it just doesn't matter what
the coverage is, they cannot cover forever. That 49ers TD is a prime example. Burrow is thinking about playing it safer, he even
has a dude that catches the ball for him when he plays catch with the other Dim Simms lol

And I'm sure it will be to a good extent.
All I'm saying is don't be surprised if at least one of the newly-added guys doesn't perform quite as well in CIN compared to their previous team.
It happens a lot.
Maybe Karras cause he has Carman, Volson or D'Ante playing next to him?
I don't know, sounds like Ted is already a leader and taking guys under his wing.
Maybe Cappa cause of the injury before TC?
I don't know, sounds like he will be ready for TC.
La'el will be an upgrade over Riley Reiff pretty much guarantee it and he loves Pollack.
